I'm not going to post anymore in this thread, and since I'll not renew my membership (in middle december), maybe these three words will be my last on these forums. Enjoy them, they describe both the band (regarding this specific issue of the singles) and some of the paying members here who are apparently more annoyed by this legit thread (that can only be read if you click on it, anyway) than the behavior of the band:
I heard that we all get the forthcoming album in lieu of the singles. It's a 2 disc set, so if you were only a member one of the two years, then only half an album for you! Source: the voices in my head.
yeah with the unplugged album out, this "vinyl pressing is backed up" excuse is BS. we all knew it. now it's confirmed.
Ten Club never said this though, right? It was just a random speculation?
Correct. They just said in production. So that could be any point in the production cycle (including just picking songs).
Unplugged's existence in the world has no bearing on where they are in the production cycle for the 7"s. Unplugged could have been decided earlier this year. Having the audio already done for the DVD made it an easier production. It was probably just Hi Res files sent to whoever cut it. Isn't the album art the same as the DVd packaging? They probably only started production on them in September or October to make the RSD deadline.

I could have sworn I saw something from one of the 10C folks that it had something to do with the backlog of vinyl production. If I'm wrong, my bad.

I think that was a rumor regarding the album being delayed.
Wasn't it Bierman who addressed it in a radio interview or something? He said the singles were "in production" or "in the production phase" or something like that.
Smooth. I'm not sure if the band is trolling us, or themselves. Or maybe they completely lack any self-awareness. Either way, goofy optics, PJ. How about prioritizing a couple of long-overdue obligations before you get cute with references to holiday singles. Who comes up with these ideas?
"I'll use the magic word - let's just shut the fuck up, please." EV, 04/13/08
From the September newsletter, which followed on the heels of Bierman's response to the Washington State attorney General:
"The 2017 & 2018 Ten Club Singles and Deep Magazines are being finalized.
If you had an Analog membership in 2017 and/or 2018, you will be contacted via email with a reminder to update your
mailing address once production finishes.
Note: If you had an Analog membership for both years,
the 2017 & 2018 Ten Club Singles and Deep Magazines will be shipped
together in one package.
All 2017 and 2018 Members will be notified when the applicable digital copies of these are made available for you to
download from your account."

i highly doubt they take optics towards their fan club into consideration when constructing social media posts for the masses. i mean, why would they? we are but a minuscule portion of their fanbase. twitter is for global exposure.
I kind of figured the 12 days of this would lead to them dropping the new ones.
It could still happen. For general public, if they are showing this a Christmas/Holiday theme, they only have what.. 5 actual holiday songs (Let Me Sleep, Don't Believe in Christmas, Someday at Christmas, Santa God and Jingle Bells). Where the rest of the Holiday single tracks weren't Holiday songs, and I doubt they'd be using any of the ramblings.

I see. If we all just listen to the 12 days singles on Itunes, Spotify etc. then maybe there will be some cash to pay for annual single. I've got Someday at Christmas on endless repeat. Going to bed. sorry dog.
Would love to find a way to purchase a pure digital lossless version of these to go with my vinyl rips.
Too bad there isn't an "official" CD / 12" Vinyl Box Set that includes every single Pearl Jam Christmas Fan Club release. Maybe someday they will make one of these sets before an unofficial bootleg company out of Europe does.

Something like this:
Obviously they are all not 7 inch though etc.
"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
Is there a plan for something replacing it? Or did the removal of it end up only as the fanclub getting a bigger $$ margin on that membership tier?
Like when Apotekarnes, the maker of the Swedish Christmas beverage Julmust (which Coca-Cola hates that they can't compete with) made their bottles 1,4 litres instead of 1,5 litres but kept the price.

But a two part larger box should be able to work. Probably a pain in the ass to accommodate two sizes in one box, but it could be done. Box would be sized for the larger annual vinyl, have a separation in the middle, the front have removal spacers (boxes) to make it the correct size for the 45. A lil handle on top like my TMR 45 case would be nice, too. Ain't gonna happen, but it never hurts to dream.

Have it be 12 inch size and release the last one on 12 inch with like 4 songs on it.
